Description

Application

Mifepristone has been used:

• to induce damage against the proliferative and secretory phase of endometrial stromal cells
• to establish a preterm birth (PTB) mice model in order to study the difference in cervical ripening mechanism between term and PTBs
• to activate geneswitch gal4 in flies
• to study the effects of sex steroids on prostaglandin secretion
